I know many non Black persons get tired of the race card, but racism never ever sleeps in America, so the race card is generally correct 98.999% of the times. For a summer session when I got my room assignment, I had a white dude tell me in the early 80's that if his daddy knew he had a Black roommate he would cut off his money. I told him sorry to hear that he was moving! Point is we are hated people in America, you know it better than we do because you have heard it in private your entire lives. I'm never amazed or upset when stuff like this comes out because I know it's been there forever.
It exists but it is far less common than you might think.
I was born and raised in South Carolina. Did I hear it at school growing up? Yes.
But in my thirty or so years, I can tell you without a doubt that it's become unusual.
Most white southerners I know are beyond embarrassed and actually offended by it too.
Depending on where I am, I can start talking and people hear my accent and think "racist." So that stuff on the video really ****es me off.
It ****es my friends and family off too.
I'm not about to say I could ever imagine being in your shoes or that racism doesn't exist.
Just saying I've seen IMHO it diminishing. Unfortunately not completely gone. Never will be.
